Does anyone think Megan was lying about the miscarriage?
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

sj,
I think Don's stepmother fell into really hard times after his father died and went to a brothel. That's how I read that situation.
no, I don't think megan was lying. she seemed really upset in front of Don and in front of her neighbor friend. No reason to put on a face with both if she was making it up. No net benefit for her to make it up because she knew (at least last season) that Don wanted more kids presumably. But he seems ambivalent about it now.

No. But now that I think about it, I suspect Sylvia will get pregnant and keep the baby which is what will destroy two marriages.
Because as we saw with Peggy and Pete, and Joan and Roger, Mad Men will go full on soap opera melodrama with unintended babies.

Oh Gah.
You are probably right.

I don't think she was faking being upset. I think she had an abortion and is feeling very guilty about it.

I would think the writers would have let us in on that, no?

Well, she did say she felt guilty when she was talking to Don's mistress. And a lot of the episode seemed to be about women's choices. Don's stepmother didn't have any good choices after Don's father died. Trudy is choosing to stay in her marriage but under her own terms. Joan is still dealing with the choice she made to sleep with the Jaguar executive last season.

I thought she felt guilty because she didn't really want the kid (or was ambivalent). Not that she had made an active choice to terminate.

That is what she said, I'm just not sure if I believe it.
